The Network Printer Interface available for the LaserJet IIISi does provide
a direct network connect for the printer.  HP has both Ethernet and Token
Ring connections available.  The cards support connections to either a
Novell or 3Com file server.  In the Novell case, the card has Novell 
protocols, SPX/IPX, and application protocols for communicating with 
the file server.  At this time, HP does not support TCP/IP on the cards.

Our experience so far has been that customers are very please with the
network connections.  They allow sharing of the printers, complete flexibility
of location, and vastly improved data rates to the printer.
